I am at a weak point.
March 30, 2013 at 6:41 am
I have heard religion described as poisoned mother's milk. In other words, if you are raised in a religion, and your social capital is derived from that religion, it is even more difficult to separate yourself from it.
This is my problem.

I am in a situation in which I have no family I can trust, not because they are religious, but because they are dysfunctional and have major issues that prevent them from being a supportive network. I am often tempted to return to religion and join a church, not because I believe the teachings, but because I need a close-knit community to belong to, especially when life gets rough.

Any ideas?
God is a personification of ourselves, what we wish to be, and that which we do not understand.
